HIPAA Compliant Paper ShreddingOrient Maine

Our document shredding services are 100% HIPAA Compliant.

Protecting data and information in medical facilities in Orient, Maine is more critical today than at any time in history. While all businesses should have a secure shredding system in place, with HIPAA regulations and the increase in fines that are being given out for non-compliance, it's of even greater importance for the professionals and businesses in the healthcare industry.

Why Choose a HIPAA Compliant Shredding Company?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law mandating higher standards of privacy and security for health-related information. Healthcare offices, including private practices, nursing homes, health insurance offices, hospitals and state supported clinics are all subject to HIPAA regulation. Shredding sensitive documents prior to disposal is a key component of HIPAA compliance.

With the amount of paperwork that circulates through a hospital, doctor's office or healthcare facility, all that contain critical patient data, it is not surprising at errors can occur. Even a simple mistake of throwing a document into the regular garbage can lead to exposure of patient data. Medical records typically include enough personal information for a criminal to take over one's identity.
By utilizing a professional shredding service that has been certified to be HIPAA compliant, you are simplifying the document destruction process and minimizing the chances for error. When you use our document destruction service, we provide you with locked bins to safely and secure all confidential papers that are waiting for disposal. You simply need to set up a policy within your office that says, “If it's paper and needs to be thrown away, put it in the locked bin” and we will take care of the rest.
